Key Takeaways:
“YouTube has all the help that you need to get started. There’s no need for fancy colleges. None of them. YouTube has great educators for free. You will learn things there that they don’t teach you in school, and that even mentors or barbers around you won’t teach you.”
“Going to college, going to barber school, will teach you a bunch of stuff. You’d gotta feel like you’re wasting a lot of time in barber school; they’d B.S. you a lot. There’s a lot of non-important stuff that you need to do, but promise you, the repetitive stuff that you do will come in handy in the long run.”
“The more time that I dedicated to it, the more I fell in love with what I’m doing, the more I fell in love with the journey, the process, and the more I fell in love with my baby. That course is my baby.”

ep 7. How To Make Money If You're Not Skilled
A Barberpreneur mindset is a must!
There are too many barbers who are great at cutting hair, you don't have to be.
Most talented barbers rely on their skills for their income and completely neglect other areas.
You can focus on these areas and separate from the competition.
